JPIX Spring 2010
Welcome to JPIX, the Jewish Photo Bloggers Blog Carnival.
Ilana-Davita shows us Sanary-sur-Mer, where German refugees stayed in the 1930’s. In the center is the Saint-Tropez synagogue. On the right Ilana-Davita photographed the Verona Synagogue.
A Mother in Israel shows off her daughter’s painting on the left. Aviva’s sheep wishes you Shabbat Shalom in the center. On the right is an anemone captured by Quietus Leo.
Batya asks you to caption the wedding photo on the left. In the middle she shows us Jerusalem, with the light rail and the string bridge. On the right Batya has beautiful photos of Tel Shiloh.
Devo asks you about the sculpture on the left. Rahel of Elms in the Yard shows us a Byzantine ruin (perhaps). Mazel tov to Mottel and his wife on the birth of a baby boy.
Mrs. S. shows a lovely calendar of children’s drawings on the left. On the right she presents photos from Jerusalem in 1967. On the Chossid’s blog I discovered a beautiful photo of Arak.
Robin shows us Jerusalem, Jaffa, the flower Queen Anne’s Lace and a recent dust storm.
On the left is a cyclist from Salute to Israel Parade photographed by Leora (that’s me). In the center are eggs, eaten at the first meal of shiva. On the right is an ice cream sundae, painted by Leora in honor of Shavuot.
The next JPIX hosted by me will be in December 2010.
Update: Toby of I Wish I Were a Photographer will be hosting the next JPIX on August 22. Please send links with your favorite pics.

I can host one if you like. I tried participating once, to no avail :)
leoraw says
Toby, that is so nice of you. I sent you an email.
Robin from Israel says
Beautiful job on the carnival Leora, thanks for including my photos.
In theory I'd be happy to host as well, but the coding scares me. If you can explain it in words a 5 year old could understand I'll take a stab at it after the summer.

Robin, I sent you an email as well. I'll be happy to hold your virtual hand through the process.
Ilana-Davita says
Yo've done a great job Leora. Thanks for including several of my shots.
Devo K says
Great job! I've linked to it in my blog.
And I may volunteer to do one before December. Just need to look at the calendar.
Louis la Vache says
What a collection of photos! Very enjoyable to see the range of images!
leoraw says
Glad you enjoy the collage of images!
Batya from Shiloh says
Leora, thanks for the beautiful spring JPIX . It's gorgeous!
Mrs. S. says
Great job, as always!
Thanks for the links, and have a wonderful week!
Ilana-Davita says
The December edition or the one after that should be possible.
Jew Wishes says
What a wonderful job you did, Leora! Great links and post!
phyllis says
These are beautiful! i always forget to submit. Thanks for putting such a nice edition together - you do great work :-)
leoraw says
So you have until August 22 to submit ... with the upcoming folks making offers to host, maybe people will think more often, What can I send to JPIX?
Of course, I am a big proponent of images are worth 1000 words.
BookishIma says
Oh no, how did I miss this? Next time for sure! Wonderful images - they're making me think "What makes a picture Jewish?" and I'm coming up with all sorts of interesting answers.
leoraw says
If one believes Judaism encompasses every part of our lives, just about anything would pass. Certainly photos of nature are welcome.
A good question to ponder. The founders of this blog carnival purposely left the definitions loose.
Robin from Israel says
Okay, okay, I'll take a stab at it but I'll be firmly clutching that hand you offered LOL.
Put me down for sometime late fall.
